Suspect sought after man stabbed on West Side

A man was stabbed in the chest on the West Side, where an argument escalated into a physical fight late Sunday, officials said.

Around 7:15 p.m., two brothers were arguing with a couple they knew in the 5500 block of Kensington Road when the discussion turned violent. The man who was with his girlfriend pulled out a knife, said police Sgt. Thomas Haymaker, and stabbed one of the brothers just below the rib cage.

"They just got into an argument, and it got a little bit physical," he said. "Then, the suspect and his girlfriend ran off." Police said the victim fled to a relative's house down the street, and officers were talking to his brother. The injured man was taken to University Hospital in an unknown condition, Haymaker said. Eagle, the police helicopter, searched for the suspects by air for some time to no avail.

All of the people involved are in their 20s, Haymaker said. The suspect was described over emergency radio traffic as wearing skinny jeans and a green hooded sweatshirt, and his girlfriend was reportedly wearing a blue dress.
